Of the approximately 30 most recent tenure recom­ mendations that the engineering school has sent to .AP&T, only four have been denied, Dowell said. Of those four, none have successfully appealed. Henry Petroski, chair ofthe civil and environmental engineering department, said that it is important to re­ alize that although the decision surprised and disap­ pointed many people, those not involved in the tenure process do not know the details ofthe case and therefore cannot know the committee's rationale for denying tenure to Jacobs. All aspects ofthe tenure process, save the decisions themselves, are kept strictly confidential. "The tenure process is a very difficult one and it's got so many dimensions that are generally not known to the participants,'' he said. "Because [the members] are able to put the information in a larger context, the decision might be hard for us to understand as a department," Petroski said. Strohbehn declined through his secretaiy to com­ ment on Jacobs' case, citing confidentiality regulations. The formal appeals process began after the AP&T Committee, which is composed of tenured profes^rs from various departments, made a negative recommen­ dation to the provost. The civil engineering department then wrote a formal letter to Strohbehn, essentially ask­ ing him to override the committee's decision.

Although I paid to hear other end ofthe spectrum would be a surprise win by party and spend a little time with Oscar and all of his the Indigo Girls and not these other people, I wasn't Mel Gibson who demonstrates his skill at bringing to friends. ___ too upset by the number of covers because these were all influential artists to the Indigo Girls and it was like they were paying tribute to them. The one song that was recorded in a studio was "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee", which was written by Buffy Sainte-Marie, and one that they Alpha Phi and the Gentlemen of Chi Psi Fraternity learned on the Honor the Earth tour. Although I liked the message behind the song, I didn't really like the song itself. The song was about how the Native Americans have lost all of their land, but the proudly present vocals and music didn't mesh very well so that I had trouble listening to it long enough to get even that rudimentary meaning. I didn't like the vocal pattern for most of the song, but I did like the end when it was just two voices singing and an Indian type drum beat. But the other songs on the album are so wonderful that I can overlook this one. I just hope that future albums with new songs aren't like this one. The first disc ended with "Dead Man's Hill" which is another one of my favorites. The song slowly builds in intensity and tempo, and with the lyrics on top of that, I quickly became caught up in the emo­ tion ofthe song. The song deals with growing up and a^Hfc friendships. When they sing "Don't you write it down, remember it in your head; don't take pictures, remember it in your heart", it makes me want to call my best friend from home and reminisce about old Saturday times. I didn't think the second disc was as good as the sr Crowell Quad first. It had some of my lesser favorite songs such as "Chickenman" and "I Don't Wanna Know" which 500 p.m.-10O0 pm were too country-folksy for me. But I did enjoy "Back Together Again" which was recorded in 1982. It was one ofthe first songs they learned, and you can tell because it is not as polished and the lyrics aren't as good, but even then you can hear how much talent they have. There were also some crowd pleasers on £ this disc like "Closer to Fine" and "Galileo", which even though I have heard them a thousand times are still two of my favorites (o.k., so a lot of songs on this album are my favorites, but that's why I think this should be a greatest hits album!). They both have similar meanings in their attempts at soul-searching and they are very inspirational to me. Overall, I Free Food for the first 100 people thought this album was wonderful. It has most of my favorites from their previous albums, and I even enjoyed all the cover songs.

Layers of crunching guitars and sweet cellos, however, turned "Blame, Etc." into something much more than a bad, white-boy parody of old-school soul. "Going to Town" begins with a rhythm reminiscent of beasted-up '70s soul, but with aching strings and guitar shrapnel, the song serves justice to Dulli's desire for a Bonnie to his Clyde: "I'll get the car/ You get the match/ And gaso­ line." These experiments, which admittedly might take a little getting used to, eventually give the album a stylistic depth that never bores. The best tracks on Black Love, however, are the ballads, which reveal a tenderness and vulnerability underneath the braggadocio and flailing malevolence. "Step Into the Light" features a gorgeous steel pedal and gentle acoustic guitars over Dulli's restrained, almost wistful vocals: "I have to ask, I need to know/ Was it ever love?/ I need it sweet, baby please." The austerely beautiful "Night by Candlelight" explores an introspec­ tive moment in which Dulli's character questions him­ self and his evil course. Over guitar, dulcimer, and beautiful moody cello, Dulli penitently sings in a fal­ setto: "Am I vain? Have I shame?/ Are my thoughts ofa man/ Who can call himself sane?" Such songs give the listener hope that the antihero will find some sort of redemption in love. In Black Love, however, being saved means set­ ting the town on fire, the conclusion in the fierce "Bulletproof," part of an three- song suite that ends with the appropriately titled "Faded," possibly the best song that the Afghan Whigs have ever done. An gentle epic denouement of piano, organ, strings and restrained guitars, the song returns us to the scene ofthe crime, with the character humbly awaiting the consequences ofhis actions: "Lord, lift me out ofthe night/ Come on, look down/ And see the mess I'm in tonight." Thus ends the saga of BlackLove. Word has it that the Afghan Whigs' record contract stipulates that Elektra provide funding for a film; Black Love should be that movie in the grand tradition of Scorsese with supersatu­ rated color and epic violence, starring Robert DeNiro, Gary Oldman, or the ghost of James Dean. As it stands, BlackLove is an opus of an album, and even if the Whigs' idiosyncratic brand of rock 'n roll don't quite bite at first, its cohesion and ambition should stand testament to meirartisticambition.BlaC.fc LOVe tellS the tale of a man no longer served by his so­ ciety and his identity, and of the growing pains of trying to find a new place in life.
